Our Lincoln City vs Burnley predictions pit a Lincoln side still searching for a first home win against a Burnley team that has scored in every Championship game so far, even while sitting deep in the bottom three. Kick-off at the LNER Stadium is 3pm on Saturday.
Lincoln sit 18th on 12 points but have been badly out of sorts at the LNER Stadium, where they are yet to win. Burnley are 22nd on eight points, with just one win all season, but they have scored in every game. Kick-off is at 3pm on Saturday.
Anthony Eadson has weighed up a game that pits Lincoln’s home frailties against Burnley’s ability to find the net, and his best bets lean into the goals angle.
Premium Tips
Burnley arrive 22nd but have scored in every league game, while Lincoln are winless at home. Anthony Eadson expects goals and fancies the visitors’ attack to show up at the LNER Stadium.
| Premium Tip | Odds | Why we’re backing it |
|---|---|---|
| Over 2.5 Goals | 20/23 (Betfair Sportsbook) | Burnley have scored in all 11 of their Championship games, and eight of them have produced three or more goals, with both teams scoring in 10. Lincoln City have conceded 12 goals in five home games, which have produced 15 goals in total. Burnley’s defence has its own problems, with only one clean sheet all season. Betfair Sportsbook’s 20/23 on at least three goals fits both sides’ recent games. |
| Jacob Bruun Larsen to score anytime | 3/1 (Ladbrokes) | Jacob Bruun Larsen has scored in two of Burnley’s last three games and started in attacking midfield last time out. Lincoln City have conceded 12 goals in five home matches, and Burnley have scored in all 11 of their league games this season. Both teams have scored in 10 of Burnley’s 11 matches, so the visitors should get their chances. Ladbrokes’ 3/1 on Bruun Larsen scoring at any time is the bigger-price pick. |

How Lincoln City go into the game
Lincoln go into the weekend 18th on 12 points, with three wins, three draws and five defeats from their opening 11 games. Their last outing brought a 2-2 draw at Millwall, a rare recent positive after home maulings by West Ham (0-6) and Swansea (1-2) and a 3-0 loss at Sheffield United.
The concern is a home record that reads no wins and three defeats from five, with just three goals scored and 12 conceded at the LNER Stadium. Those numbers leave Lincoln looking badly exposed in front of their own supporters, and they will need to tighten up quickly against a side that always scores.
How Burnley go into the game
Burnley may sit 22nd on eight points, but they are far from a soft touch going forward. They have found the net in all 11 league games this season and have scored 16 goals, the problem being 21 conceded at the other end. Only one win has come so far, though five draws hint at a side that is hard to beat.
Their last five have brought a 2-1 home defeat to Wolves, a 2-2 draw with Charlton, a thumping 4-0 win at Watford, a 1-1 draw at Derby and a 3-1 loss at Swansea. On the road Burnley have scored eight in five, so they will back themselves to cause Lincoln problems and climb clear of the relegation places.
Lincoln City vs Burnley head-to-head
Lincoln and Burnley have no recent league head-to-head to call upon, with the clubs having spent the last few seasons in different divisions, so there is no table of previous results to guide us here. Current form is the far better pointer, and that favours a Burnley side who always score against a Lincoln team struggling badly at home.

Lincoln City vs Burnley score prediction
Burnley’s knack of always scoring, paired with Lincoln’s dismal home defence, tilts this towards the visitors. Lincoln should get on the scoresheet too given Burnley’s leaky back line, but the away side look more likely to take the points in a game with goals in it. We will go for a 1-2 Burnley win. Score prediction: Lincoln City 1-2 Burnley.
